As mosquito activity peaks during the summer months, Dongguan is taking urgent action to reduce mosquito density and prevent the spread of mosquito-borne diseases such as Dengue Fever and Chikungunya.  

Today, August 1 (Friday), a second round of citywide mosquito eradication campaign will be carried out between 16:00 and 19:00, covering all towns, districts, and industrial parks across Dongguan. This effort is led by the city's task force for the prevention and control of vector-borne diseases.  Authorities will conduct targeted mosquito spraying and disinfection in public and high-risk areas. At the same time, residents are encouraged to take action indoors by using mosquito coils, electric repellent tablets, and other household measures. 

Q:Who should take part?      

All sectors and public spaces are expected to actively participate, including: 

•  Factories and businesses  

•  Construction sites and markets  

•  Tourist attractions and parks  

•  Schools, nursing homes, and residential buildings

Participants are urged to: 

•  Light mosquito coils indoors between 16:00-19:00  

•  Clean up standing water, trash, and hidden breeding grounds  

•  Join local cleanup teams to support outdoor disinfection efforts           

Mosquito-borne illnesses such as Dengue and Chikungunya can spread quickly during the summer. By taking rapid, collective action, we can cut off the transmission chain and protect public health across the city.  Let's act quickly and work together to create a safer, mosquito-free environment for everyone in Dongguan.
